A Kampala hospital just bagged a major award for its medical care. TMR International Hospital won top honors at the first Annual Centre of Excellence Awards held at Ascendismed International. The award came after a review of infrastructure, patient outcomes, quality systems, and innovation. The hospital's Executive Director, Dr. Daniel M. Talemwa, accepted the recognition, calling it proof of investing in systems and people. He highlighted partnerships with groups like Ascendismed to boost clinical standards and keep quality care inside Uganda.
Guest of honor Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda praised hospitals like TMR for advancing local healthcare and reducing the need to send patients abroad. Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Dr. Diana Atwiine said she hoped these centers would keep providing accessible, high-quality care. TMR holds three ISO certifications for quality, environmental, and safety management, a first for a private hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its milestones include performing Uganda's first private closed-heart surgery, the first private cochlear implant, and pioneering regenerative medicine services in East Africa. The award reinforces its goal to make advanced treatment available locally.
